Stocks CFD

Trade major world companies across NASDAQ, NYSE and HKEX with the click of a button

Stocks CFD, like other CFDs, is an agreement between a trader and their CFD provider to exchange the difference between the opening and closing price of a contract. As a leveraged product, it gives investors full market access for just a small fraction of the capital originally needed to trade the underlying stocks. As such, you need not own the underlying asset in order to capitalise on its price movement, both rising and falling. With a smaller capital outlay, major stocks can be accessed without the restrictions of traditional stock trading.

Why trade Stocks CFD?

• Instead of a full capital outlay, each position only requires a small margin
• Unlike traditional stocks trading, stocks CFD can be shorted to take advantage of falling prices
• Mitigate risks by hedging other portfolios with leverage
• Trade major companies’ stocks from leading exchanges
• Earn dividends like traditional stock trading

*Slippage may occur during volatile market conditions.
¹ In the event of any inconsistency between these trading hours and those on MT4/MT5, the trading hours on MT4/MT5 shall prevail.

Margin Requirements

Margin Requirement is an initial deposit required to maintain open positions. A portion of your trading account amount will be set aside as a margin deposit.

Example 1:
Margin required for one standard contract position in AAPL.NAS at 242.00 is calculated as follows:
Margin required = Lot Size*Contract Size*Market Price*Margin Requirement
Margin required = (1 * 1 * $242.00) *0.10 = USD$24.20

Example 2:
Margin required for one standard contract position in 0700.HKG at 522.50 is calculated as follows:
Margin required = Lot Size*Contract Size*Market Price*Margin Requirement
Margin required = (1*10 *$522.50)*0.15 = HKD$783.75

Assuming your MT4/MT5 account is denominated in USD, we will need to convert the margin required into USD:
Assuming the rate for USD/HKD is 7.80499
Margin required = HKD$783.75 / 7.80499 = USD$100.41

Margin Call

Margin Call is a measure set by the brokerage to alert traders before their account funds fall below the Margin Requirement. This will prevent positions from liquidation due to insufficient Margin Requirement. At Anzo Capital, Margin Call is set at 80%, therefore, if your Equity (Balance – Open Positions Profit/Loss) falls below 80% of the margin required to maintain your positions, a notification within MT4/MT5 will be sent to alert you to make additional deposit to maintain your open positions.

Stop Out Level

If you are unable to maintain sufficient funds in your account after hitting the Margin Call level, and your account funds depreciate to the Stop Out level, your positions will be closed automatically to prevent further losses into the negative territory. At Anzo Capital, Stop Out level is set at 50%.

Swaps

It is a rollover interest (that is earned or paid) when traders hold their positions overnight. The interest for positions held over the weekend will occur on Friday. Therefore, the interest applied will be for three days of rollover interest.

Commission

When trading stocks CFD, your trades are subjected to a small commission fee that will be charged to your account upon execution. Commission charges can be found in the table as follows.

*For Hong Kong stocks CFD, calculation of commission charge is based on the opening price of the trade, not the closing price.

Example: Hong Kong Stocks CFD

If you buy 100 Tencent (700) CFD stocks at HKD$320/stock, the commission is: HKD$320*100*0.25% = HKD$80

If your MT4/MT5 account is denominated in USD, we will need to convert the commission to USD

Assuming the exchange rate for USD/HKD is 7.80499, the commission in USD is:
HKD$80 / 7.80499 = USD$10.249
